For years I had actually been avoiding making this recipe. We love matzo stuffing with our holiday turkey and this recipe requires real bread stuffing. I didn’t want to give up the matzo stuffing so I pretended that the leftovers casserole recipe didn’t exist! It worked, for a while.

My hubby saw the television commercial one too many times and insisted that this was the year that we had to have this amazing cranberry turkey casserole, so I gave in and made it. I am so glad I did! It tastes just as delicious as it looks on TV and it is well-worth it for me to make some bread stuffing just for this recipe! (I am never giving up my matzo stuffing.) This casserole is now part of our annual family holiday tradition.
